Even tea party members who earlier embraced Palin think she should stick to making money with books and speeches.

According to the polls, 74 percent of all respondents don’t think Palin should ever run for President and 71 percent of Republicans said “nada” to a presidential run by the fading political star.

Sixty-six percent of tea partiers said Palin shouldn’t run as did the same percentage of independents.

The widespread rejection of Palin as a Presidential contender spread across political, ideological and party lines. When asked for a reason on why Palin should not run, many said they found her “too extreme.”

Had the poll come from the New York Times, Washington Post or CBS the Palin faithful would be crying foul but this survey came from right-leaning Fox News, giving Sarah’s cult-like following little room to claim bias by the news organization behind the numbers.

Bottom line: It ain’t looking food for the Wasilla, Alaska’s claim to fame.

Doug Thompson published his first story and photo at age 11 -- a newspaper article about racism and the Klan in Prince Edward County, VA, in 1958. From that point on, he decided to become a newspaperman and did just that -- reporting news and taking photos full-time at his hometown paper, becoming the youngest full-time reporter at The Roanoke Times in Virginia in 1965 and spent most of the past 55+ years covering news around the country and the globe. After a short sabbatical as a political operative in Washington in the 1980s, he returned to the news profession in 1992. Today, he is a contract reporter/photojournalist for BHMedia and owns Capitol Hill Blue and other news websites.

It would be like Geraldine Ferraro running again for President after losing with Mondale. Geraldine (God rest her soul) was smart enough not to do it. We all know Palin isn’t very bright especially after that horrible television series, Sarah Palin’s Alaska.

If your selection as VP running mate can’t change the fate of your ticket, your running for President will likely fail. Americans don’t particularly care for the losers.
